Everything connected now, I can start to fine tune the drives and geometrical correction. The first test with probe and a gauge ring is not too bad.. Uwe Is this the main method by which you do the finetuning for the axis - ie, you use something like a dial gauge to confirm the 'rough' setup (eithe...

Perfect, thank you, as assumed. Not powered it on yet, still busy rewiring.

Hi all, I'll probably start a build thread for my Series 2 Interact 4 retrofit when I get into it more. Basically the same machine as the I2 but I think the 2 uses a KTK spindle drive rather than the Contraves I have. The axis DC motors and drives are the same, and the Heidenhain is similar but the...

This looks like the same switch, perhaps different label but same connector etc. On this it suggests that V1 and V2 are 2 different sources in case you wanted resilience? So use use V1 - as GND and V1 + as 24V DC? https://www.amazon.co.uk/MokerLink-Industrial-100Mbps-Ethernet-DIN-Rail/dp/B09WYHMV14/...

Hi, I've got one of the DC powered switches with my Eth1616 which is a welcome addition. Ive been using another switch in the meanwhile but now keen to install this one. Its got two sets of inputs, which do I use on 24V DC please? The docs show the spec of it, not any wiring info. I also dont see an...

Yes... just looked that up on the Centroid website. I feel fairly confident that I can machine the tool changer with the Geneva cam. The real question remaining is where I can locate the macro and PLC programming? Is this available on the Centroid website? Just google for it but its all on the webs...
